Generally good, but the transfers to and from the ships were very uncoordinated and delayed.

Magdalena and Marta Islands Speedboat Trip

We'll meet at the indicated time at calle José Nogueira in Punta Arenas. Once we're all ready, we'll check you in and take you to the Laredo dock, where we'll board a speedboat to start a wonderful journey through the Strait of Magellan.

We will sail to the picturesque Magdalena Island where we disembark for one hour to go in search of the colony of Magellanic penguins that inhabit the area. You will be amazed by these friendly birds!

After this visit, we then set sail for Marta Island to observe its native fauna from the boat. We will see colonies of sea lions, cormorants, and Antarctic doves, among many other species.

Finally, we'll return to the mainland, where we'll drop you off at the starting point or at the Plaza de Armas, whichever you prefer. The activity will last a total of 5.5 hours.
